Grand entrance

In days gone by, houses were invariably built to the street. That's where the design detail was evident the rear was usually given over to service areas.

But as this Brett Ward Homes project illustrates, that way of thinking has changed dramatically. Today, a new home needs to be equally appealing from all angles. In fact, an attractively landscaped private outdoor living area is generally considered a must-have.

This house, in Coomera Waters south of Brisbane, was designed to suit a sloping site overlooking an area of native bush. Director Brett Ward says the house was designed to maximise the potential of the block, like all the company's projects.

"In this instance, we created an alfresco entertaining space, which incorporates outdoor dining and living areas. The sheltered terrace leads to the pool deck and landscaped gardens."

The house is also characterised by its imposing entry and wide steps that lead down into the main living area. Other features of the three-bedroom house include a semi-detached office or fourth bedroom, and a modern kitchen incorporating the latest European appliances, island benchtop and walk-in pantry.

"Years of experience in the industry mean we can supply quality finishes at an affordable price," says Ward.

All Brett Ward homes come with a seven-year build guarantee.
